A melancholic Thai ghost story that uses supernatural dread and boarding school isolation to explore childhood trauma, guilt, and the blurred line between reality and haunting.

When 12-year-old Ton transfers to an all-boys boarding school, he's taunted by his peers and terrified by their tales about the ghosts that inhabit the school. Ton is utterly miserable until he befriends a mysterious fellow pupil.
